Siri Bercakap Dengan Edrick XX

Of late, I feel like I am being bombarded with mature questions immaturely by me Monchies. And the questions mostly revolve around the situation I am in with their father. Like why we are not together when we are supposedly married, why is there a third person on the other side and none on this side, and why do people stop loving one another. And you can imagine so many  other wise why’s coming from Kitreena and Edrick.

.

The night after Edrick’s desperate attempt in match-making me with his classmate, Adam, we had yet another conversation.

.

Edrick: Mommy, what do people do when they get married?

Mommy: Hmmm they do a lot of things together.

Edrick: Things like what?

Mommy: Oh they err… uh… they cook together, they eat together, they do housework together, err… uh… they go places together. Anything. Everything together.

Edrick: Do they hold hands together?

Mommy: Oh yeah, they hold each other’s hands whenever they can. They do this too. They rub each other’s back. *rubs Edrick’s back like she always does at bedtime*

Edrick: But I am not your husband.

Mommy: Of course you’re not! But married people do whatever feels nice to each other.

Edrick: Then, who’s going to rub your back Mom? Who’s gonna make you feel nice?

Mommy: Hmmmmmmmm… nice question, Monch. *thinks of her Kingsize bed, the six pillows and Mr. Cocoa*

Meskipun Hanya

Masih kedengaran di telinga gue apa yang dibilangin Bibik saat kami lagi ngobrol di meja dapur sore kemaren. Gue akhirnya nekad ngabarin ama Bibik bahwa gue lagi dilanda emosi, meskipun gue kira dari semula Bibik bisa nebak hati gue yang bening ini. Ntar gue seneng, ntar bete, ntar ngayal, ntar nangis melulu.  Ntar malah gila.

.

Gue: Aku toh ga mengarapkan papa dari belio, Bi. Nawarin papa juga ngga.

Bibik: Yah, saya ngarti Bu. Punyaan orang sih emang harus begitu.

Gue: Tapi belakangan ini aku malah benci pada diriku bila mulut dan hatiku ga mau setuju. Gemes sih bila aku harus cemburu!

Bibik: Naaahhh kalo cemburu itu Bu, tandanya sayang.

Gue: Yach, barangkali bener Bi aku sayang meski aku ga pernah curhat. Aku tau belio tau. Dan akhirnya tadi siang belio bilangin sayang itu terang-terangan padaku dalam satu ayat.

Bibik: Barangkali belio jadi kasian sama Ibu.

Gue: Kasian?

Bibik: Yach, dikira mungkin Ibu toh nungguin cuman yang itu. Dibilangin sayang itu. Ya lalu diucap, ya udah.

Gue: Kasian?

.

.

Gue jadi terbangun dari mimpi.
Sebel ama diri gue sendiri.

Dance Little Ladies, Dance!

.

Christmas 2002, Calgary, with my beloved Meagan and my brand-new Kitreena.

.

I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth taking
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth making

Don’t let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

Tiada Kata

Bila awak tak ada, saya ada banyak masa nak memunggah dan menyusun barang. Maka semalam punggah lah punya punggah, saya terjumpa banyak surat cinta. Tapi sebab cinta saya ni bertepuk sebelah tangan bila awak tak ada, asek tangan saya je lah yang menulis surat. 🙂
Antara isi surat cinta saya…

.

Bila awak tak ada, saya tak ada kata-kata. Mata asek mengantuk ajer walaupun dah bergantang kopi saya minum, wak. Kopi cap Kapal Api lah, Kapal Laut lah, Kapal Cargo pun dah saya coba.

.

Semalam lagi dasyat. Sudahlah hari mendung semendung hati saya, hujan sepuput tak turun walau sepipit pun. Mata saya kuyu, badan saya layu, hati saya sayu.

.

Kalau tak kerana Tom Yam nyonya yang panas, pedas dan Teh Tarik seteko yang saya teguk dalam masa tak sampai 30 saat di Udang King Restaurant tu, rasanya saya macam anak pokok kunyit baru tanam dalam pasu kena simbah air rebusan kerang panas-panas! Ta mim ta.

.

Bila awak tak ada, saya tak ada hati.
Tak tau mana pergi.
